Lambs and Bunnies

>Here are a few pictures from our outing to see baby lambs and bunnies! A couple in our ward were nice (and brave!) enough to let Riley, Bailey, and six of their friends come over to see the animals. Hats off to the lambs and bunnies...they were real troopers when it came to all of the hugging, petting, and holding...and the best part according to Riley was that no one got pooped on!

"Poor Bailey-O"

"Poor Bailey-O" is what our littlest one has been saying for the last several weeks. Bailey has had a lot of trouble with ear infections her whole life...and the last several weeks have been pretty bad as far as ears go. She has had fluid leaking out of both ears for about 7 weeks now (gross, I know), and there have been MANY trips to the doctor's office (which she HATES!! Every time we pull into the parking lot at the medical clinic Bailey starts crying and chanting "No Doctor, No Doctor!" until she makes it back safely to the car after her appointment. Not fun for mom or child!) We have tried antibiotic after antibiotic...and finally got the word Tuesday that she needed to have surgery to figure out what was going on with her ears. Friday morning we went to Primary Children's Hospital and she had what hopefully will be her last ear procedure. She did well and everything went fine. If you ask Bailey how it was at the doctor's on Friday, she will answer with "Bailey went to sleep at the doctor's...poor Bailey-O".

Bailey had obviously figured out something was up once they put her in her "doctor jammies". Look at that sad face!

This is Bailey in the recovery room right after her surgery. She looked so little in that bed hooked up to all of the monitors.

Starting to wake up...a little bit.

At least she got a cookie!

Isn't She Lovely?

Look who had become addicted to seeing herself in the mirror! If I had a dollar for every time I heard "Let me see in the mirror, mommy!" we would be mortgage free! I always put Bailey on the bathroom counter to dry her hair after a bath, and one day she decided she wanted to kiss herself in the mirror...that led to her fascination with her reflection. Anytime she has on new clothes, a gets a new hair ribbon, or thinks she is looking pretty fine, she wants to see in the mirror! We are hopeful this is just a phase...can you imagine if this were to carry on into her teen-age years???

Bailey got a new skirt and sweater, and she had to go and kiss herself in the mirror before church!

The day it all started...

Every once in a while she can tear herself away from the mirror to share some of that affection with us!
